Monster Energy is fitting out a guarded facility on Allen K Breed Highway
Where it is. On Allen K Breed Highway in the south Lakeland industrial corridor.
A string of permits — forklift chargers, a $700,000 interior buildout, new fencing and two guardhouses named for Monster Energy — point to the drink maker setting up at 5380 Allen K Breed Highway.
Over the past year the site at 5380 Allen K Breed Highway, owned by Sealy Allen K Breed Highway LLC, has gone through a run of commercial permits: battery chargers added in mid-2025, a $100,000 fence, a $700,000 interior alteration, a fire-sprinkler relocation, and two accessory buildings the permits label "Monster Energy Guardhouse North" and "Monster Energy Guardhouse South." All of those permits are now finaled.
Taken together, the work reads like a tenant fit-out for a Monster Energy operation — the two guardhouses sit at the north and south ends, with fencing and interior work done between them. A zoning verification letter for the address was also requested in 2026, which typically accompanies a tenant confirming allowed uses at a site.
The records don't spell out exactly what the facility does or when it opens, so the Monster Energy name comes straight from the guardhouse permit descriptions rather than any announced plan.
